    Eddie Hearn will probably make it in as a promoter.

    I'm not casting any judgement on whether that's deserved or not, but given his old man got in, it's highly likely he'll make it in too. Especially with a massive night like Froch v Groves behind him.

    As for boxers - Froch best chance, but given Naz isn't in it's hardly locked. Khan with a few more big wins could possibly get on the ballot one year and then it depends who he's up against. Don't see any others getting close really.

    At some point Khan and Froch will go in, same with Naz (not active I know). Only others who may go in haven't shown their potential yet.

    Froch has a very good chance. Victories over 3 Ring World champions along with several titlists is a strong argument for inclusion.

    Khan needs some big wins to merit consideration. Based on what he has achieved so far he has little chance.

    Too early to say with any of the up and comers, and no other established names have anywhere near a HOF resume.

    Froch might not be Elite in the Classic sense of Great boxer or fighter, but he is Elite indeed as he competes at the highest level with his contemporaries.

    P.S - Does anyone have any contact details for Gareth Davies boxing/sport writer for the Telegraph?

    Froch most definitely,

    Hamed deserves to be in there, love him or hate him

    If MAB is an ATG and his best win (or one of) is Hamed, Hamed definitely deserves some credit.
